Taking care of your plants in hot weather

As we all know, there is no respite from the sun here in Kuching, we seem to have two kinds of weather, hot or hot and wet, that's about it!

so, when the sun has been especially hot we need to pay extra attention to our garden and how we water the plants. I would always, always advise against doing any sort of work that involves exposing plant roots during the hottest parts of the day. The roots are especially vulnerable to heat. if you water the plants during this time of day, also you may kill the plant as the water will literally cook the plant.

So, when watering your plant, or transferring it to or from a pot or ground make sure you do it first thing in the morning, or very late in the afternoon around 6 or 7pm, that way your plant has a better chance of survival.
